Jamie Haidinger, LICSW, LCSW

Jamie Haidinger is a licensed social worker (LICSW, LCSW) practicing in New Hampshire who brings 15 years of experience helping people navigate stress, loss, and life transitions. She combines clinical training with a background in supportive counseling, crisis intervention, and life coaching developed in acute medical hospitals, nursing homes, and community physical rehabilitation centers. Her work has focused on depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and major life changes such as empty nest, divorce, and retirement, and she has provided support for people experiencing physical or emotional abuse.

Haidinger holds a Bachelor of Social Work from Salem State University and a Master of Social Work from Boston University, and she earned a Certificate of Clinical Gerontology from Boston College. Her credentials include LICSW and LCSW - professional social work licenses indicating advanced clinical training and authorization to provide psychotherapy.

Her counseling style is warm, caring, and intentionally client centered. She meets people where they are, listens to each personʼs story, and collaborates to identify sources of pain and develop a step-by-step plan for change. Her approach is gentle and nurturing; she supports progress at the clientʼs pace and avoids pushing people into places they are not ready to go.

Throughout her practice she has helped people reduce anxiety, improve mood, move forward with difficult decisions, strengthen personal and work relationships, and heal from heartbreak. She offers a combination of clinical skill and compassionate encouragement aimed at restoring motivation, easing distress, and helping people build a more peaceful, meaningful life.

Evidence-informed approaches for online therapy and care

Jamie Haidinger integrates approaches that support practical change and emotional healing. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that move a person toward a meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, and teaches concrete skills for managing mood, worry, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, non-directive stance in which the therapist offers empathy and support while the client leads the pace and focus of their growth.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. Jamie works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors techniques from these methods to fit the individual circumstances and comfort level of the client.

Online therapy with Jamie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, health issues, or limited mobility. These options make it easier to receive consistent care from licensed professionals in a way that suits day-to-day life and supports steady progress toward goals.
